Welcome

« I rediscovered vintage photo booths in 2009 during a trip in Berlin with my children.
Since then, every time we’re back, we never miss the chance to take fresh pics. I now own a pretty good collection, where I can see my kids growing.

The Photo Booth Photos are for me a pure moment of instant pleasure, a happy record of our passage there and then.
It’s often a collective adventure that allows us to capture on a small rectangle of photo paper, with its special and recognizable format, these small moments of happiness with others.

Fixing such moments on ceramic in order to immortalize them was self-evident for me. »

MyPhotosOnCeramics offers to print your own Photo Booth Photos on a fine porcelain plate: an original and eternal gift to offer… or to treat yourself to.

Each plate’s dimensions are 28 x 5,5 cm. They are 3 mm thick and handmade in my workshop in Montreuil (Paris, France).
They are slightly « torn » on the side, in order to give them that paper-like look.

Prices:

47€
for a black and white plate

52€
for a colour plate

Your Photo Booth Photos are printed on a ceramic plate. It’s made of porcelain paper, which is a mix of cellulose (3%) and porcelain powder. This technic allows for the creation of a very thin and very strong plate.
After a first firing (biscuit) at 980°C, the plate is enamelled with a transparent gloss. Then it’s fired a second time at 1280°C.

After you send us your Photo Booth Photos as digital file, it’s printed on a special transfer paper, with a special printer designed to work with enamel Toner.
The print is permanent: it’s coated on the enamelled ceramic, that will be fired for the third and last time at 860°C.

Immediately after firing, we fix a metal support behind the plate to allow for wall hanging.

Discover the manufacturing steps of your plate in the following Video.
